Overview

• Monash IVF said in an ASX announcement that barrister Fiona McLeod has completed her independent review into embryo mix-ups at its Brisbane and Clayton clinics.
• The review found the Brisbane incident was caused by human error, while the Clayton case involved multiple errors and IT system limitations in a partner-embryo transfer scenario.
• The company described the two cases as unrelated, different in nature, years apart, and arising from non-standard treatments.
• Acting chief executive Malik Jainudeen said many recommendations have been implemented and the remainder will be adopted, and he issued an apology to affected patients.
• Monash IVF will not publish the full review to protect patient privacy, and a government-ordered rapid review of IVF sector accreditation launched in June continues.
